), the span of the balance is adjusted to the changes in
ambient conditions.
You must adjust or calibrate your new balance at the place of installation after
each warmup period and before the first measurement. You must also re-adjust
or recalibrate your balance each time you set it up in a different area or when
ambient conditions change (especially the temperature). Verified balances
approved for use as legal measuring instruments must be adjusted/calibrated
at least once a day.
The balance offers you various adjustment and calibration functions. You can
select these functions by setting the appropriate menu codes. For more information,
refer to “Balance Operating Menu.”
